Does this seemingly elite and select (for those who can't read in 'madmuggle-o-vision' this is intense sarcasm ) group of us ever do the meet-up thing?

They do, your best bet is to yell "Squonk" very loudly on the main meet up boards.

And while you're at it tell her I'm holding her to a picnic in June.

I could just yess "Squonk!" loudly in the centre of the city yesno?

Picnic, in June? In Hull? Do you think the green areas will have dried out by then?

Well it might work, she did threaten to yell "norks" outside my wedding lst time I spoke to her.........

I'm pretty sure my dad's allotment has dried out so we should manage a picnic. I just asked for one because last time involved alcohol (I missed it due to my gran going into hospital last minute) but I'm incubating again now so cake seems like a much better idea than alcohol!

Norks, a variation on 'bogies' for the mums? I'm liking it

meet up?
booze?
norks?
picnic?

yay!

I'm there

(hello, madmuggle, I'm squonk, pleased to meet you)

So when and where will the meet up take place ?

how about East Park?

would everyone prefer a weekend or mid-week? school holidays or term-time?

I'm fairly easy, but would rather it wasn't a Wednesday.

If anyone's got any better ideas, feel free to share, I don't know Hull that well, I live in one of the villages, so I'm not in the city centre...

East park fine by me. My 2 ds's are at school full time.

so a weekend or school hols then?

(unless, of course, we forget about the kids and go for a beer instead )

School holidays
But I'm up for a beer.
Is anyone else interested ?

you could start a thread in "meet ups" and see what interest you get.

I suspect that J20 may well come - I have her number so will text her.

When did you have in mind? Perhaps we should meet up in the pub in order to arrange a meet up for the kids in the school hols? Makes sense, doesn't it?

Saturday nights are slightly more awkward for me than other nights, but now dd1 is old enough to babysit my littlies, I can make any night really.

So just tell me where and when and I'll be there.

Can't say I've been in many pubs recently. Weekends are out for me. I like to be with Dh and the boys.
So if anyone has any suggestions.

I'm easy really.

You pick a time and a date, then we can figure out where we're going to go.

I lost this thread, how silly of me

well now you've found it again.

(I have added it to my watch list, and check it every so often. That way I may mislay it, but won't actually lose it )

I'm notoriously 'good' at losing things

<goes to see how this saving to watch list thingie works>

<<<checks to see if madmuggle is "watching">>>

I am!

Haha!

*wanders off to drag the kids out of bed*

wow! you bloody well are, aren't you!

Damned right I am!

but where were you between 7.37 and 13.17?

eh? eh?

call yourself a watcher!

pah!

oh pick a date for a piss up calm and sensible couple of glasses of mineral water will ye?

I'm a lazy slattern part-timer

When's good for everyone, 'tis whit week next week. It has park potential for the daytime. Evenings require planning as there's squashers to be organised

I'm away next week

For the whole of the school holiday.

an evening in the pub a meet up without the children is much easier for me at the moment.
